Overview

"People have gone online to entertain each other for decades. In this attention economy, those who can drive traffic and capture ""likes"" and other forms of favoriting become stars for a fleeting moment or two. Even as different celebrities rise and fall, some of the energy online is to distract and soothe each other through various forms of fun.
